He caught the jar of powder against his gut as it whirled towards him. Victor couldn't make out why she was laughing like that when he seemed to have won, until she spun towards the fireplace. He gritted his teeth and bolted after her, but a second too late. His fingers just brushed her wrist before she disappeared in a swirl of green flame.
Fortunately, he had all the tools needed to chase after her. He'd heard the address clearly and he still had a whole jar of floo powder in one hand. He threw some powder in and spat out the address, and he was through the fire and in a new house only a few seconds behind her. He dropped the jar of floo powder (hopefully whoever else ended up in the house they'd just left had thought to pocket some as she had, or else they'd now be stuck) and launched himself at her. His first thought was preventing her from fleeing again, and to that end he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. It was a most indecorous position, but that had not yet occurred to him.
"That was most unsportsmanlike, Miss Dempsey," he huffed.
